# Bluetooth Photo Share vs iTransfer

The clearest difference is rating: iTransfer at 4.1 against Bluetooth Photo Share's 2.2. iTransfer also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 38%) and ratings volume (215 vs 23). Bluetooth Photo Share's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bluetooth Photo Share sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iTransfer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iTransfer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTransfer has 215 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Bluetooth Photo Share's written reviews are positive against 52% of iTransfer's.

Bluetooth Photo Share ships an update every 3 months, iTransfer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
